Bobby Dalbec's three at-bats this season have been the best he's ever had. I can't remember a time when he's been able to recognize pitches and spit on stuff out of the zone. I hope the glasses are actually helping.

Is it even legal to do a running softball swing like that? Looked like he was out the front of the batter's box when he made contact.

Most recent SP podcast: Whitlock should probably be on a strict pitch limit. His stuff dropped off pretty substantially in innings 4-5 in his last rehab start.
Alex Cora:

I know Cora only controls so much, but the guy is full on pants on head.

Feel bad for Whitlock but these guys are hitting on all cylinders right now. Get to focus on the next one.

After back to back home runs we don't even send out Bush to visit the mound to let the kid get a few deep breaths in. Bad coaching all around. Cant be less talented and badly coached. That's just not a good duo.

Big AB from Turner. Still not making great contact, but he's not giving up either.

I would at least consider sitting Hernandez a game, or take him out of SS, to give him a chance to regroup. He is a good player. We don't have a choice, we need him to produce. Let Bobby play SS. But IS he a good player, or are we all still basking in his monster performance in the playoffs a couple years ago? He’s a career .238 hitter with a career OBP of .314. He also has some nice positional flexibility that makes him seem more valuable than he is. I’m really not that impressed.

I wish I posted it, but I was joking to myself that luckily Yoshida hits a lot of ground balls so that double play will score a run.

I think he is a good player, maybe I should have added complementary. He makes teams better with the skill set you described.

If Yoshida doesn't work out, we can all blame a small child.

I am not feeling Yoshida-mania. Yeah, the pound the ball directly into the ground strategy is getting pretty old.

Yoshida has a 73% groundball percentage on the year. 45% is the MLB average. The lack of strikeouts is awesome, but he has to start lifting the ball.

Alex Cora: --- I know Cora only controls so much, but the guy is full on pants on head. Whitlock threw 85 pitches. If you can't throw 85 there is absolutely no reason to be starting.

He's athletic, can run, plays all over the infield, and has unbelievable pop. If he can develop an average hit tool and put up competitive at bats he'll be playing almost every day.

He's still getting built up after injury. He will obviously get there, but it's going to take a few starts.
